Fuel Storage & Delivery System Engineering
CORE Environmental Consultants provides end-to-end petroleum storage tank design services, including underground (UST) and aboveground (AST) tanks, transfer piping, dispensing systems, and environmental safeguards. Whether for fleet fueling stations, emergency generators, or institutional heating oil tanks, our engineered systems meet all applicable codes and compliance standards.
Where Are Fuel Storage System Engineering Designs Needed?
CORE designs fuel storage and distribution systems for:
- Educational and institutional facilities (boilers, emergency generators)
- Transportation hubs (bus depots, rail yards, airports)
- Municipal and private fleet fueling systems
- Healthcare and critical facilities (diesel emergency power systems)
- Residential and commercial heating oil systems
- Fuel system retrofits for environmental compliance or capacity upgrades
Our engineering services support both new installations and the replacement or decommissioning of outdated infrastructure.
Our Fuel Storage System Engineering Services
We provide full-service engineering support for:
- UST and AST system layout and tank sizing
- Piping design for suction, pressure, or remote fill systems
- Fuel dispensing and metering system design
- Tank farm secondary containment and spill protection
- Leak detection and overfill prevention system specification
- Vapor recovery and venting system configuration
- NFPA 30/30A and NYC Fire Code compliance
- Integration with building systems and emergency power equipment
All designs are delivered with sealed plans, technical specifications, and permit-ready submittals.
Design Process and Regulatory Coordination
- Site Assessment and Code Review
CORE begins with a review of site-specific requirements including use type (e.g., emergency vs. continuous service), fire code restrictions, setbacks, and tank access needs. - System Sizing and Equipment Selection
We determine fuel demand, tank sizing, and optimal delivery method—selecting UL-listed components that meet NYSDEC PBS registration and building/fire code standards. - Fuel Storage System Engineering Design Development
Our team prepares complete design documents, including:- Site layout plans with tank, fill, and dispenser locations
- Piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs)
- Control system schematics and integration notes
- Spill containment and secondary protection details
- Environmental compliance notes and callouts
- Permit Filing and Agency Coordination
CORE assists with:- NYSDEC PBS Registration or modification filings
- FDNY or local fire marshal approvals
- DOB and health department permitting
- Plan submission packages for contractors or public agencies
- Construction Support and QA/QC
During installation, CORE provides:- Submittal review and contractor RFI support
- Inspection of tank placement, pipe routing, and containment systems
- Startup testing oversight and as-built documentation
- Final inspection punchlists and turnover packages
Compliance with Codes and Regulations
Our designs align with all applicable standards, including:
- NYSDEC Petroleum Bulk Storage (PBS) regulations
- NFPA 30/30A and NFPA 110 for emergency systems
- NYC Building and Fire Codes
- UL 142 and UL 2085 tank construction standards
- Local zoning, environmental, and health code requirements
We also integrate spill prevention and control measures that support broader SPCC compliance when applicable.

Remediation System Design
CORE designs custom remediation systems to treat contaminated soil, groundwater, and vapor across a wide range of site conditions. Our designs incorporate technologies such as soil vapor extraction (SVE), pump-and-treat systems, in-situ chemical oxidation (ISCO), air sparging, and dual-phase extraction—delivered with full construction documentation, system layout, and regulatory alignment for effective long-term performance.
Fuel Storage & Delivery System Engineering
CORE engineers fuel storage and delivery systems for heating, generator support, and vehicle operations. Our services include AST/UST selection, piping layout, pump and control system integration, containment design, and permitting support. We design code-compliant systems that meet NYSDEC PBS regulations, NFPA standards, and site-specific operational requirements.
Green Infrastructure & Stormwater Management
CORE develops green infrastructure and stormwater management designs that reduce runoff, support infiltration, and enhance sustainability. We integrate bioswales, rain gardens, permeable pavements, detention basins, and hydrologic modeling into site plans to meet SPDES permit conditions, mitigate erosion, and promote regulatory compliance.
Erosion and Sediment Control Plans
CORE prepares Erosion and Sediment Control (ESC) Plans to protect soil and water resources during construction and earthwork activities. Our plans include grading limits, silt fencing, inlet protection, sequencing, and inspection schedules—compliant with NYSDEC General Permit requirements and municipal stormwater standards.
Geotechnical and Environmental Drilling
CORE provides drilling oversight and coordination for geotechnical and environmental investigations, including soil borings, monitoring well installations, and subsurface sampling. We support field programs with licensed drillers, ASTM-compliant procedures, and real-time data tracking to inform foundation design, contamination assessment, and remediation planning.
Build Safer, Smarter Fueling Systems
CORE designs fuel storage and delivery systems that are reliable, regulatory-compliant, and ready for long-term operation. Let us help engineer your next installation or upgrade.
